Bursa as it is now

This is the modern day view of yesterday's photo of Bursa in 1977. The mosque is still there, although it's almost obscured by the road now. This was a quiet moment for traffic - usually the roads are a lot busier than this.

I'm amazed that all those typical old houses are so completely wiped away! But I guess the apartments are a more efficient use of space for housing. And the trees are gone too! So much for "yes(h)il" Bursa!
